Hyrekia, Half Elf Sorceress from Reaper and a short Gothcon review

She’s a metal mini that’s been in the tin-mountain for
far too long, which is a shame as it is a really nice figure.

On the painting table now are the remainder of the
Castle Ravenloft figures, a few more assorted fantasy minis, the last Black
Scorpion western minis and some western buildings. I’m hoping to have the
Ravenloft game all painted and have a game or two, and also to have most of my
western-stuff ready for a game of Dead Man’s Hand soon.

After that I think there will be lots of Dust, as I
had a demo-game of Dust 1947 at Gothcon this weekend and it felt really good (thanks for the demo, guys!). I’ve
got my Dust-mojo back and that will be prioritized now. I’ve already ordered
the new rules and will pick them up at Alphaspel
today, hopefully.

Gothcon was great (as always) and we tried a lot of
new games. The weekend started with a game of Hjärnor (Brains), a game I’ve
seen there over the years and wanted to play. This time we were there when the
con started and were the first bunch to get a game in. Great fun!

Three of our four heroes in their first mop-up. My charcter; Malin, armed with a shotgun and a saw, in close combat with a zombie. Jörgen, our wannabe Elvis, coming to the rescue wirh his guitar and handgun (which will soon run out of ammo) and Anna wields her chainsaw and handgun with great skill.

Two more heroes, Sigge and whateve-his-name-was, being ambushed by a bunch of no-good undead.

Our mission was to get out of town (with bikes or cars) and kill many zombies. With 30 killed we would get a major victory and we kept tallying them up. Here we're in one of the houses trying to find car keys and Malin finds them while Jörgen is found by a zombie.

Everyone to the VW van!

We just have to kill a few more zombies before we fl... retreat.

Just a few more to reach 30 killed zombies...

Just two more....

Finally, we kill the last one, jump into the van and make our escape. A total victory as all our characters are unwounded!

My rating system

5 - A masterpiece. You have to read/see/visit.4 - Really good. Strongly recommended it if it is a subject of interest, and probably worth reading/seeing/visiting if not.3 – It’s OK. If it’s a subject you’re interested in, it’s probably worth reading/seeing/visiting. Otherwise you can probably skip it.2 - Well, not really... If it’s your subject you could possibly find something in it worth your while. Otherwise stay clear.1 - Stay clear. This is a waste of your time.
